hi bobby,
I am big movie buff and always search for quality cinema.
For me.. cinema is a lot more than just a storytelling... it's rather presenting a story with all the spectacles one can put into it and gives it the dimensions beyond just a script or story and i think on this note western cinema is far more ahead than us.
At your space, I was amazed to see, the so much empasization you have given to Indian cinema which seldom rises on an international scenario.
I am not saying that Indian cinema is bad or something like that, Indian cinema has it's own unique way of storytelling which is a proud thing for us but I just feel that nowadays Indian moviemakers are not honest with their work, they are more like moneymakers rather than good storytellers.
That's why I surprised to see the names like Rajkumar Santoshi and Ram Gopla Verma on your list and not like Anurag Kashyap or Meera Nair.
I have not seen your full list of movie to see before die but some i think some of the movies should be there like Raiders Of The Lost Ark in Adventure,Alien in Horror/Thriller, A Beautiful Mind and The Aviator in biographical etc.
This is not necessary that you should agree with my views this are my personal opinions.
Bye
Best wishes & Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Glad to have another friend who takes Cinema more than what its normally famous for.
Regarding the empasization I have given to Indian cinema, I would like to add that the movies rightly deserve to be there in my list and I am proud of that.
Actually the problem here is that you are mostly considering the Indian Cinema you may have seen in the last 3 decades.
Whereas actually the beauty of Indian Cinema and its classics lies mainly in the works before the eightys. Now most of our net savvy friends of today would have to do a lot of research and also got to have a lot of patience to watch those mesmerising classics of the past. Becuase you just cannot see them after watching a "Fast & Furious" or "Next".
So if your really want to have an idea of what i am saying then just search my list and go for all those classics at the earliest.
Regarding the names you have taken, if you havent seen "Damini", "Ghayal", "Andaz Apna Apna", "Halla Bol" & "Pukar" then you really are unaware of the power of a director called "Raj Kumar Santoshi". Please dont judge him with his recent movies.
And Ram Gopal Verma is a person who is responsible of very much changing the movie making style in India. He came with new ideas of even shooting a film in his cult movies like "Shiva", "Satya" and his earlier horror flicks.
Yes, Anurag Kashayp is a director who needs to be there in my list, that is fine. But I dont consider Meera Nair of that greatness because she has always tried to cash either the poverty or the ancient culture of India to gain attention in the west. He glorified these elements in her "Salaam Bombay", "Kaamasutra" and to some extent also in "Monsoon Wedding". Only her "Namesake" was the movie which impressed me the most.
And from the list of English movies, I dont highly appreciate movies which are mostly dependent on graphics, exaggreated things and wierd fantasies, because they cannot contribute anywhere in your personality development.
I am all in favor of movies such as "A Beautiful Mind" which is already there in my list.
I add the movie in my list on the basis of how important that movie can be in our lives which we go on living unknowinlgly.
I hope you would have got all your answers now........but in the end I would again request to see all the Indian Gems from the past.......Any movie lover anywhere in the world is simply incomplete without seeing them.
Cheers!

I would like to say, Bobby Da always writes perfect reviews of Hindi Movies, really very honest and it saves our times. I have read other reviews like Taran Adhesh and on other famous bollywood sites, it looks like they are paid to write a good revire of flop movies.
But Thankfully we have an honest REviewer of a movie, Bobby da, whoz reviews are interesting to read. and speiclaly in todays fast lives, we don't get much time to see all movies, only the best we can see on every weekend. and Bobby Da again writes an excellent review of all bollywood movies.
The most favourite review of bobby da is Main Aurr Mrs Khanna. movie is a super flop, but i loved the review really. i wish i would have read it before going to Cinema. Wasted my money and time.
KEep up the good work.

Finally there is a place where all the movie reviews are written without any prejudice.
I wonder how some of the worst movies get an opening collection amounting to 30 Crores.. 40 Crores.. 50 Crores..
Blue is claiming to have collected 92 Crores..
That's the worst way to spend money.
A total waste.
Even after CC2C, 8*10 Tasveer and Kambakht Ishq, I wonder how people dare to spend such a huge amount of money for Akshay Kumar movie without any feedback.
This website is a must-read for all.
I wish you'll continue to review upcoming movies without any bias towards big budget movies.

hi, bobby
The next movie BLUE have copied from the hollywood movie "Into the Blues",, all the water scene or actions scenes and a full reel action scene of the movie Torque that bike chasing scene (full ripped off) and some scene from redline or other movies......
Can't bollywood have a orginal screenplay or story....It could be the most expensive movie or the movie of its kind in bollywood or the first time this type action is shown in bolly, but the truth is that they have openly copied..........
They think that we'll make a movie and the audience out there couldnot able to guess that .........

Hi Starwar 2424,
You are very right in your comment.
Lets see what's there in store in the most expensive film of Bollywood "Blue".
But the inspiration angle is not going to die for sure............

Hi Bobby,
Have read your articles...very nicely done
why dont you write for Passionforcinema.com.
Just to brief you about PFC, its a leading independent voice on the Internet for film fanatics and filmmakers around the world. The website is organically growing into a cinema portal offering many tools and services for the filmmakers, working professionals in the film industry and film fans. passionforcinema.com went online in September 2006 as a community website designed to bring together all movie fanatics, cinema lovers and those who eat, breathe and drink cinema in one place to review and discuss movies, movie related events, movie personalities, personal opinions, and to share personal knowledge on technical aspects of the medium. It has since grown to become an influential voice for the leading edge filmmakers and directors in Indian cinema, as well as an important source of news, editorial content, and movie reviews related to Indian and world cinema.
Some of the regular industry people on the portal are - Anurag Kashyap (Dev D), Sudhir Mishra (Khoya Khoya Chand, Chameli, Hazaroon Khwahishe Aisi, Dharavi), Khalid Mohamed (a well knows writer and critic), Partho Sen Gupta, Hansal Mehta (Dus Kahaniya, Chhal), Suparn Verma (Ek Khiladi, Ek Hasina), Abhay Deol (Actor), Dibakar Banarjee (Oye Lucky, Lucky oye), Onir (My Brother Nikhil, Bus ek Pal), Kundan Shah (jaane bhi do yaaro, Nukkad on DD1, Kabhi haa - kabhi naa), Revathy (Actress), Santosh Sivan (South) etc to name a few.
You can contunie writing for your own blog and at the same time you can write articles for PFC as well...the only thing which need to be done is to mention "originally written for passionforcinema.con" on your blog.
Your blogs are so nice that let the world read it. Over a period of time, you can be a featured author and you will be interacting with the film makers which are on PFC.
just a thot.
Also you need to popularise your blog as not many knows about this blog and me too get it from some reference.

Hi Bobby,
My name is Daniel Allen and I work for Discovery, the in-flight magazine of Cathay Pacific Airlines based out of Hong Kong. I am currently putting together a short piece on Bollywood, and more specifically the current crop of Bollywood movies based in Delhi. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about the trend toward making more Bollywood movies in Delhi rather than Mumbai.
If you are agreeable please find these questions below. Would love to get your expert opinion! Many thanks in advance for your help, Daniel
Questions
1.) A number of Bollywood movies have recently been released (or about to be released) based in Delhi, rather than the traditional setting of Mumbai. What do you think are the reasons behind this change of location? Are there things that Delhi can offer film makers that Mumbai cannot, or is is simply about freshening things up? Are Indian audiences tired of Bollywood movies based in Mumbai?
2.) In your opinion what are the best three Delhi-based movies released this year? (and why?)
3.) How do you see the future of Delhi in Bollywood movies - do you think a growing number of movies will be produced in the city, or is this just a temporary fad? How does Delhi film production scene currently can be seen compared to Mumbai?
Thanks again!

Hi Narendra,
Actually everyone has a hidden passion inside, but its only the other important things in life which take away most of our times and we are left nothing to feed our passions.
Hence, I strongly believe that we all should take care of our hobbies and passions in our life, irrespective of any age or social factor coming in the way.
Thanks for your kind comment and Keep Logging!
